This afternoon october 25, 2007 Copper Power System visit at Don Ramon Aboitiz substation for giving us a seminar and actual instruction on pad mounted transformer.
3Ø Pad-Mounted Transformers Ratings kVA: 45 – 10,000 Primary (High) Voltage: 2400 – 46,000 Volts Secondary (Low) Voltage: 120 – 15,000 Volts Oil or Envirotemp® FR3™ Filled 55/65º Rise for 12% More kVA
Installation Location 1. Sufficient Space 2. Sufficient Ventillation 3. Stable Mounting Pad
Pre-Service Inspection Check the exterior of the transformer Dents, Nicks, Scratches on the bushing Check all the seals and gaskets seepage Tank cover, bushing seals, gauges, fuses, operating devices, etc.. Check the presence of Vacuum Check the liquid level
External Connections Transformer must be connected and operated as indicated by the nameplate Bushing and terminals must be thoroughly clean prior to connection Allow sufficient flex for all Cables connected to the transformer terminal
Ground Connections Transformer tank must be connected to a permanent, low resistance ground. All CPS padmounted transformers are equipped with two grounding pads
High Voltage Connections Make connections as shown in the diagrams and info on the transformer nameplate Transformer Neutral to Systems Neutral Leads and connections that are not used must be insulated from ground and all other leads Allow sufficient flex for all Cables connected to the transformer terminal The bushings are positioned to allow vertical take off of the primary cables entering from below
Deadfront Transformers Connections All 3 phase padmount transformers are equipped with Universal Bushing wells One-piece bushings or bushing wells with factory installed inserts Other brand well inserts must be compatible with the universal bushing well otherwise it will cause premature failure of the transformer.
Low Voltage Connections Check the information on the transformer nameplate (Voltage, Config., BIL) Transformer Neutral to Systems Neutral Allow sufficient flex for all Cables connected to the transformer terminal Use the sec. bushing support if the cable are heavy enough to pull down the bushing
Accessories Liquid level gauge Liquid Temperature Gauge Pressure Vacuum Gauge Pressure Relief Device Bay-O-Net Fuse
Switches and Protective Devices Refusing of Bay-O-Net Fuse a. Pull ring of Pressure Relief valve
Refusing of BaY-O-Net fuse *SHUTDOWN CONDITION ONLY a. Pull the ring of Pressure Relief Valve and hold b. Using Hot stick twist the fuse holder to unlock c. Turn fuse holder to 90deg. to break seal bet gasket and fuse housing d. Draw fuse holder out quickly 8 to 10 in. e. Wait several sec to drain the oil f. Remove fuse holder from the Bay O net housing g. Wipe off catridge holder Refusing of BaY-O-Net fuse h. Use ¾” wrench to remove fuse catridge from holder h. Insert Replacement Fuse Link of same catalog into the Fuse Catridge
